In History, we are doing a project about the Scientific Revolution. We get to pick an astronomer, or a philosopher in that time period and make an award for them. We could pick a lot of people including Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Nicolaus Copernicus, Johann Kepler, and many more. I chose Nicolaus Copernicus. I chose Nicolaus Copernicus because he was the first one to study planets, and show that the church's ideas were wrong. He is known for the person that started the Scientific Revolution. He believed in the heliocentric theory that the sun was the middle of the universe, and that all of the planets orbitted around the sun.
